🔥 Key features:

• Updated narrower and shorter design for a more precise rear-foot feel
• 3-piece construction for easy installation and clean fit
• 27 mm kick tail for improved control and response during maneuvers
• Diamond groove pattern for enhanced grip and traction
• Flat design that maintains excellent board feel and sensitivity

🌱 More sustainable construction with BLOOM Foam

Inspired by Firewire Surfboards commitment to sustainability, this pad has been developed in collaboration with BLOOM Foam, a high-performance flexible foam made from algae harvested from freshwater ecosystems threatened by toxic algal blooms.

Benefits of BLOOM technology:

• Greater durability and improved shock absorption compared to conventional foams
• Reduced weight for a lighter feel underfoot
• Helps clean aquatic ecosystems by removing harmful excess algae
• Recirculates clean water back into natural habitats
• Helps capture and reduce CO₂ by lowering dependence on petroleum-based materials

🌿 Made using algae collected from areas at high risk of toxic blooms.

🌊 Performance feel:

• Maximum control during turns and direction changes
• Excellent balance between grip and freedom of movement
• Natural and comfortable feel underfoot

The Firewire Machado Seaside Pad is the perfect option for surfers looking for a lightweight, minimalist, and highly functional traction pad, combining modern performance with more environmentally responsible materials.
